Re: ideas

The status candidate means that the idea could be implemented in the future if the idea is top ranked and has enough votes. It does not mean it is planned to implement it. When the idea is "Targeted for an upcoming release", you can check the comments to see the product team has informed about in which release it will be included.

Re: ideas

Yes, the GeoMedia team pays a lot of attention to submitted Ideas, it is nearly an every day affair for me. And yes we will be executing numerous Ideas for our next major release, which will be the first major release for which the Ideation board has been present during our planning stages.

Keep in mind that the board became active only a few months before the 2018 release, at which time plans were already set and mostly executed, so we knew at that time that there would be little influence on the release scope. However with the Update 1 and Update 2 releases of GeoMedia Desktop and Spatial Modeler, the GeoMedia team has delivered more than 15 Ideas already - some submitted by us for voting, some submitted by partners and customers, some with lots of votes, some with not many. (When we execute one with low votes there will usually be some specific reason, such as: it is very quick/easy to do, it fits with other work ongoing, it was already planned or done, etc.)

We operate in an agile fashion, so there will not be one big moment at which we declare a certain set of Ideas to be targeted for the next release. As our plans evolve, we will likely tag them only once we have confidence of being able to deliver. - Hal

Re: ideas

They have a status now of Delivered. In most cases they did formally have a Targeted status, but we've now delivered them. In a couple of cases they went straight from Candidate to Delivered because the decision was made very suddenly, or an Idea was submitted that was already delivered (or nearly so). Note that the 15+ are spread across the GeoMedia, GeoMedia Add-ons, and Spatial Modeler products.

I'm not sure who said something to you like "every new beginning year there is a new rmajor release". I simply noted that we have already delivered some Ideas with Update 1 and Update 2 of GeoMedia Desktop 2018 (these were in July and November of this year), and that additional Ideas will be implemented in our next major release. That release is targeted for 01-Oct-2019 for all Hexagon Geospatial products. - Hal

Re: ideas

A "candidate" idea means that it has been reviewed by the product team and this is something that could be implemented in the future if there is enough interest. It does not mean it is in the product roadmap.

You need to check the ideas with the status "targeted for an upcoming release" for knowing what is being implemented and when.
